Yes, thanks for clarifying. I poorly worded my first reply about integrating ebtables, I was only talking about ebtables-using-nf_netlink. I think it would be great to integrate this more, i.e. also have a 'xtables --bridge -A INPUT ...' that reuses xtables syntax and not the ebtables-specific one for instance (we need to keep the ebtables specific one of course for compatibility). We'll also need ebtables-save/restore eventually (again, using nf_netlink). So I'm leaning towards not applying this, sorry. I did apply the first patch, as its a useful improvement on its own. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
